You guys are awesome 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Ok 👍🏻
For #debrief: If you had the opportunity to tie your ghost to any location, object or person; who, what, where would it be?
for debrief: while recording in the boo bunker before being on location, is that the first time shane is seeing the submitted fan "evidence" (videos, EVP, etc)?
For debrief: how does the spirit box like work? Like could it by accident get its signal from radio signals or is it just white noise? If so then is stuff you heat from it from radios then? #teamshanic sorry ryan 😂
In Shane's defence my dog spent a week barking at an empty spot in my house, and it turns out I _did_ have mice in my walls.
My dog stared at a small mark on the wall for like an hour straight 😂😂
My cat stares at my walls all the time. I'm pretty sure she's listening to the pipes but I wouldn't be that shocked if we also had mice tbh
Yeah, our cats we're spooked about a spot in our floor. Guess what? It was rats.
Nah it's much more likely that the souls of dead people are hanging about. Mice are super-rare: I had never even heard of mice until watching this video.
lmao.
who would've thought that ghost hunting would be the ultimate comfort media
Yes and it also helps because there’s no ghosts #teamshaniac
It’s been my comfort media since I was a kid and used to watch Ghost Hunters with my mom lmao
@@Candace33ghost hunters, ghost adventures, these guys, then i found out Kesha hunts ghosts too. The haunted girlies are my personal favorite to watch, Kesha, Celina, Kris, and Amanda the medium
@@equiinomcheck out Amy’s Crypt!
Paranormal Tube in General, Mr Mythos, The Why Files, Unexplained Mysteries, tons of good channels for that! But ya Ryan and shane are great at bringing comedy to it
At this point the show isn’t about proving to US that ghosts are real. Ryan just wants to prove it to Shane 😂
honestly it always has been, he always wanted to see Shane's smug face finally drop and admit "yeah ghosts are real"
it's funny bc there's been a good amount of activity and proof, yet Shane doesn't believe- so I don't think it matters how much he sees lol
@@themoonchild7302he needs to get in a fist fight wit da ghost to believe.
@@themoonchild7302there’s been 0 good evidence and everything has been explainable
Sometimes I think Shane started believing a while ago, but the dynamic of the believer and skeptic is too juicy to give up. Because I think the same, there's been so much that happened that its like come on. it'd be a stretch for it all to be a coincidence.@@themoonchild7302
I love that shane was so excited about the chickens and how he described silky chickens "wearing little pants" 😆
It was truly so cute 🥰 I just adore him
I know I was iike "He knows what silkies are!"lol
I love Shane's chicken boner lmao
For the #debrief: Shane, would you still ghost hunt with Ryan if he was a worm? Be honest.
You're asking the real questions.
of course he would! shane may not believe in ghosts but he's a ride-or-die friend for life. long live the ghoul worms
I feel like he’d keep Ryan on his shoulder
Wonderfully speculative and whimsical answers from the fans. No doubt “booger-garas”. (Big imagination ) but I’m gonna need answers from the Big Man TM himself.
We absolutely need answers on this and I’m so glad someone is finally asking the hard questions.
If your dog is suddenly barking at nothing or refusing to go into certain rooms, please please please get your home checked for mold and gas!
Also if they suddenly become aggressive, take them to the vet! When dogs are in pain, that usually shows through aggression
One of Ethan of H3’s dogs refused to go in his basement and he had a gas leak!
If you are experiencing any "ghost" activities, you should probably check your house for gas leaks. They can cause hallucinations and if it goes unfixed long enough you could die.
Good point
And get your home checked for pests!
For the debrief: When Ryan was looking for he key that Shane left inside a mason jar, the Oviulus said "inside." "glass."
Awww the ghosts were trunna help him! These ones really do seem nice
That's really sweet
Can someone put a time so I can find it?
It says "guess" not "glass"
At the chicken coop, Shane very clearly introduces himself to the chickens, not the ghosts. Which is very endearing
Makes sense. They might not understand a greeting, but chickens do exist.
Petition for Ryan to carry Shane around all future Ghost Files sites like a pretty princess
That's not gonna end well when Ryan inevitably drops Shane because he hears a door creaking.
Lmao yesss! 😂😂😂
This was the episode they showed for the Ghost Files Live in Chicago and Ryan did indeed come out on stage carrying Shane. It was amazing.
@@allysonrinchiuso8471He also tried to bench press him, which was admittedly less impressive. That live show was truly unhinged 😂
@@KryptidKaty “BUICK” 🤣
Shane (derisive): It feels like we're making fetish content. Also Shane: Bark like a dog.
He knows his audience
As someone who keeps a lot of chickens... it might actually be that the chickens are "talking". There have been many times out around our coops I'll turn around thinking I heard someone mumbling and all that's there are the birds. They make many vocalizations that sound almost (but not quite) like human speech and it's often just enough to trigger your "oh someone's talking" sense, and this becomes more apparent the more birds you have as their sounds layer over each other.
Ew…that’s cool. I guess if other birds do it why couldn’t a chicken nugget do it
That’s a great point, I often have similar experiences with pigeons where I live. They just love to roost on window sills and they make a lot of murmuring noises. A bunch of sounds in the prison eps just sound exactly like it to me 😅 not to mention the starlings and crows that replicate common sounds like knocking, whistles, and alarms, as well as human vocalisations.
Definitely, I had a "house chicken" for awhile (she hatched disabled s9 we raised her inside until she could join the flock) and she actually learned how to "mimic" us, to an extent. Like someone mumbling in the cadence of a human sentence but you couldn't make out any actual words. Their nighttime murmurings can also sound wild if you aren't used to them
Can confirm we have 4 laying hens and a Parrot in the coop, and he's not the only one making confusing noises, lol. He has a favorite game of whispering "hi" if you walk near the coop at night.
That is such a great point! So many birds can mimic human speech too.
i appreciate how much gusto shane puts into the estes method sessions lmao "A THOUSAND PORKS!" he straight up just Yells
I think he might also be louder because his hearing is occluded and he has a loud gibberish going on in his ears
Nipple scooper!
NIPPLE SCOOPER
For Debrief: Does the cameraman ever have his own strange experiences whilst he's shooting for ya'll, cuz we dont get to hear their side generally? #Debrief
you forgot to hashtag Debrief... #Debrief
@@ToastyDanzig thanks for letting me know
They should make a special episode just having the team talk about all their experiences
Great question
@@Dr_KWwasn’t that the one from Buzzfeed tho?
For Debrief: this is clearly the most paranormal evidence you have ever caught in all your investigations, so Shane, how can you scientifically explain how a 4’5” tall beefboy carried an 8 foot behemoth like a princess?
I still think the lighthouse solo from buzzfeed when Ryan was alone is some of the best evidence they've ever found. Ryan was getting good responses, even a clarification on one of the answers from the spirit box. scared him so bad he ran out
@@evelynwright329 Yesss! That was some incredible evidence.
@@evelynwright329 it's been a long long time since we've got a chatty ghost in the bed room
@@evelynwright329 yeah me too and the humming evidence in a asylum
The St. Augustine lighthouse and the series finale with the Sallie House are also both really compelling pieces of evidence to this day. I teeter totter on the line of being both a Boogara & Shayniac. I don’t fully believe in ghosts, but I won’t deny that paranormal activity can exist - so that’s why I always enjoy this series.
the solo session with ryan was SO TERRIFYING. this is some of the most direct and clear audio ive heard!! ESPECIALLY HEARING HIS NAME MULTIPLE TIMES!!! SCARRYYYY
the spirit box was going crazy fr it said his name more than five times
Except it wasn't saying his name. 😂 It was static bursts of nothing.
Was someone else saying his name on the walkie-talkie? Because 2 of them were crazy clear, more than the spirit box
@@______9437 It sounded to me like both the spirit box, the ovilus, and Shane on the walkie-talkie were saying Ryan’s name during that session. Specifically at 1:02:37 it sounds like the ovilus says his name, then Shane does (you can hear the walkie-talkie beep), and then the spirit box.
@@ChamomileT "It sounds like" is the basis of a lot of these quack "ghost evidences". It's pareidolia more than anything else.
I have a lot of respect for you guys leaving in the clip showing that the radios can trigger the rem pods.
Can you guys record your heart rates during the solo investigations so we can see the difference between Ryan and Shane
Well you can't record the heart rate of demon shane. It would be just a fake number.
Hahahaaha you are right!
@@beezleyShane has a resting heart rate of 666 bpm.
Omg YES! I have been thinking that for ages how fun it would be!!
Well it's cute how cocky Ryan gets now compared to early on when he only got confident while running out the door at the end I guess after 100 empty locations with absolutely nothing happening he subconsciously knows it's irrational fear
I am worried about Shane's personal safety; not because of ghosts, but because of Ryan
Shane, blink twice if you're safe.
Same lmao
Shane is demons, he can't get hurt.
@@jimmywinter7961 When Ryan confronts Shane's inner demon: "I am not my fear. I am stronger than my fear." Shane: The fuck are you doing man?
might have a prof mishap again..
Ryan telling every ghost that he's "gonna be there alone later" low key sounds thristy as hell 😂
The way Shane reacted to the noises in his solo and said that Ryans' audio of his name said that it was pretty good! The way he's sp proud of Ryan for not being scared after that! He was so proud of his friend, and Ryan was so proud of the evidence he was able to get. Man, it makes me happy to see the differences from the beginning at buzzfeed.
Okay, all jokes aside, Deana please PLEASE get your house and yard tested for gas leaks. It looks like you are in a neighborhood with shared utility lines and it wouldn’t be far-fetched to assume that those pipes would leak. It’s also suspicious that the most active room in the house is the kitchen, where I presume there used to be gas appliances. For the safety of you and family, please call someone to check out your place🙏🏼
No natural gas leaks, no radon gas, no mold. Those have been checked. It still would not explain things moving on their own. Another person in the area has seen his Tide pods shoot up to the ceiling and explode. We all experience similar things that would not be caused by a gas leak.
That's crazy! What did you think about the Maglite communication at the beginning of the episode (Shane's antics aside)? @@deanaduyck8743
@@deanaduyck8743Carbon monoxide leaks actually would explain a lot of that.
how much is shane paying you bae
@@italkaboutstuff8039 lol
Shane is my hero for his deadpan delivery of “You think it’s the soul of a displaced indigenous person.”
Even if souls existed it makes more sense it'd be in Oklahoma
@@bassplayer8815 Yeah like honestly if there's two places I would think was swarming with ghosts it's central Poland and Oklahoma
i’m kind of wondering why it’s assumed that these displaced indigenous people speak english lol
@@119793 my thoughts exactly as I was watching this ep!!
rez school related?@@119793
For #debrief, I am a staunch Shaniac, but honestly that “Ryan” spooked me. This was one of the most compelling places I’ve ever seen you guys investigate. Shane, do you believe that, if ghosts were real, this place would be haunted? (Don’t get me wrong, still don’t believe in em, but it definitely gave me a lil fright)
Same here. It wasn't like it sort of sounded like 'Ryan', either.
@@zarasbazaar yeah, it was a full on “Ryan” not long after he’d asked it to say his name. Definitely strange coincidence
just remember: a spiritbox is nothing more than an AM/FM radio that jumps between frequencies. the only way a supernatural entity could influence it is by instantaneously knowing what frequencies are playing what sound, and being able to (somehow) manipulate the spiritbox into jumping to those frequencies with millisecond precision. these are also the same entities routinely perplexed by how to interact with a maglite being used as a "touch lamp."
@@schmal911 yeah, which is why I don’t believe in ghosts (among many other reasons), it’s just never done that before so it still spooked me a little
@@schmal911 The amount of energy it would take to do ANYTHING when you are not made of physical mass would be pretty demanding though, if you think about it. But yeah, there's a lot of profit made in the pseudoscience that a lot of the 'ghost hunting' gear consists of.
I feel like the show began with Ryan hoping he'd convince Shane that ghosts were real, but as it's gone on, I feel like Shane's slowly turning Ryan to the skeptic side lol
To be fair, it's really hard to keep believing in something when you're constantly having to accept you can't find evidence of it.
The lack of ghost sightings is what has been the downfall of Ryan's belief system
@@ScaryWombatand Ryan said that exact thing on unsolved but it was something about lunch
Can’t believe no one’s mentioned how in the first spirit box session it says “goodbye” and then goes silent and in Ryan’s solo it says “I’m moving on” and then goes silent once more. Pretty insane timing. #debrief
I think this is the best the spirit box has worked for them yet. Including the Estes session. Those "Ryan"s were pretty good.
This is in the S tier with Apple Tater in my opinion
It's been quite a long long time since we got a chatty spirit
That's what I'm saying
@@obealsyou gotta keep nerds in s tier too
There's something so adorable about Shane geeking out over the chickens. I don't blame him, they're pretty cool. Not as cool as Ryan actually lifting up and carrying shane around, though. Very impressive.
Agreed
someone didnt watch the whole episode.
As someone who lives in the big city and barely ever seen a live chicken in person, I agree.
stardew valley shane core
When you said Shane was geeking out, i thought you meant he was biting the heads off the chickens like geeks did in old freakshows.
My pomeranian used to stare into a closet in my house for hours, id open it for her and she would look around and go back to staring. Eventually I found a dry chicken nugget that she must have accidentally pushed under the door and it went inbetween some boxes so I couldn't tell what was going on until months later. Lol
Shane getting excited about the Silkies is the most relatable thing lol They are the dorkiest looking farm animals
Idea for next season: have the crew select a convincing piece of evidence WITHOUT showing Ryan and Shane before the investigation. During the debrief, they can then review the secret evidence and see if they encountered anything similar on their investigation #debrief
Wwwww yes, that sounds really interesting and exciting to integrate for the next season.
thats a nice one
I vote for this
100%!!!
Yes. That way they can go into the investigation without uneccesarry bias.
At 1:00:25 when Ryan was looking for the key the ovilus had "glass" on the screen before it said inside. It was telling Ryan where the key was. #debrief
That looks like it says “Guess”
it says guess
It literally says "GUESS" You can pause it at your timestamp and look for yourself lol. How can 266 idiots upvote your comment@@ZackAdamsGoldenKnight148
for #debrief - have you guys considered the possibility that the ghosts could've actually been phroggers (people that secretly squat in occupied homes) ?? Idk the dogs growling at the ceiling like something (or someone) was up there, the throat clearing, the fleshy small person Deana saw...? Idk if that makes it more or less creepy, but would love to hear your thoughts!
that's definitely more scary than a ghost
Having had someone who was flying high on coke break into my place while I was sleeping, I would rather have all the ghosts in the world than have someone prowling around my home.
if there were actual people they most certainly would've been spotted by her camera setup by now
There was an incident of a woman breaking into a young woman's home while she was sleeping. When the young woman's family and friends couldn't get in contact with her they called for a wellness check, when the authorities arrived, they found that the woman who broke in had been eating the young woman. Let me see if I can find the story..
@@psychobrattHoly shit what. That is infinitely scarier than ghosts could ever be
the segment around 20:00 where Shane is just shouting "I want to believe" while Ryan acts like a drunk person is just too funny. Also Shane knocking over the mug and saying it's a ghost, I'm crying tears from laughing
#Debrief I was re-watching Buzzfeed Unsolved Supernatural series and you guys should definitely go back to the Augustine Lighthouse! Ryan if you remember, the spirit box gave you consistent and logical responses. That was probably the only time that might not just be coincidence! Since Ryan has become much braver now, I'm sure you'll have a meaningful conversation with the spirit in there and let's see what Shane would say this time!
God, I love that episode!
100% agree!
I'm a pretty big skeptic but I've been to the St. Augustine lighthouse and there was a little weirdness. Nothing on par with the famous TAPS experiences but I'd love to see how Ryan and Shane kill all the tension at the lighthouse with dick jokes.
Yea St. Augustine lighthouse is really weird one with how consisnat they made it, i would love to see how they would appraoch it comapred to how they did it in buzzfeed because they got a consisnat response and it was never mentioned again so i assume it was fake but another take on this channel would be great
Yes!!!
for the #Debrief: Do you guys think the reason the evidence during the solo spirit box was so great is because Ryan talked to them like normal people instead of calling them ghouls and shadow-men? Also, props to whichever graphics designer did the 3D blueprinting at the beginning, they put their whole editussy into it.
Yeah, I wish they would do that more often. :') I feel like they're getting quite disrespectful and I don't even believe in ghosts...
I am sorry EDITUSSY??
No, I think it was because Ryan is a believer, unlike Shane.
She hears movement in the drawers and something tickles her feet. Yep. She's got mice.
Shane sounds like a patient teacher when he’s talking Ryan through where the key is
Ryan’s solo spirt box session is probably the most compelling evidence ever caught by the show. With the very clear “Ryan” being said by multiple voices, to saying “I’m shy”, and “there you go” after turning on the light.” The biggest evidence was the spirit saying “I’m moving on” and then the spirit box going silent. Amazing evidence!
From a skeptic, my jaw dropped 😳
i agree i try to e impartial so i listened with my eyes closed and every Ryan said was so clear
Delusional. You haven't seen alot of episodes if you think this was the best. smh
@@GodsThirdEye wow that’s was an unnecessary rude and dramatic reply 😂 everyone is different so what might not be as compelling to you might be for others and vice versa I agree I personally think there have been better episodes evidence wise but doesnt mean I’m going to tell people their opinion is wrong There are a lot of skeptics in the comments saying that they found this spirt box evidence and we aren’t mind readers so no way to tell why they didn’t find other episodes with spirit box evidence as compelling but in the end that doesn’t really matter the comments are for fun casual discussion
@@catissoosoobored7330dude you just took the bait. They were purposely trying to trigger you. And you just wrote an essay in response.
i think you guys should do more family house visits. They are always more active than any historical location.
Agreed
I totally agree. They did another family house visit (I think during their time with Buzzfeed) and had amazing evidence. One of my favorite episodes.
@@carnuatusi agree bc its fathomable. its relatable. it isnt sum scary hospital or prison. its a place we are all familiar with
They're also a little more compelling imo, since people who visit a "haunted" historical location are already looking for spooks, and the human brain excels at seeing what it wants to see. But most people don't exactly expect ghostly activity in their ordinary house... 😅
ghosts aren't real to begin with, so "more active" doesn't make any sense
CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW MANY TIMES THE SPIRIT BOX SAID RYANS NAME??? thats the most compelling evidence theyve ever had i think
that’s what i’m saying why is no one talking about it!! like even when they didn’t caption the video with “ryan” i definitely heard it a couple times it seems like they didn’t pick up on it
also the demon house one
@@1111yam Feel like some of those were shane
What’s the time stamp on that?
If the most compelling evidence is a toy then you should understand that it isnt real, also that thing could've said anything that resembles the word ''ryan''.
Ryans solo was really good, our boy deserved that win!!! And i love how excited shane was for him as well lol
It was amazing to see Shane actually like "hmmm that was wierd" when he heard the noise on his solo time. For a brief moment he looked like he actually was confused that it may be real
well he does try to point out when he hears or sees something that is weird but its also pretty easy to explain some weird stuff cuz it aint that weird. Now the moving chopping block and stuff that's some weird "cant explain stuff" which is why he leans to fake, and i would agree to as it cant be so easily explained without some trickery. Because if you don't believe something exist your not gonna claim it does in fact exist and that's the reason it happened xD i know its frustrating though to be like "evidence" then have it brushed off because the only explanation we can offer in the realm of reason is "faked."
i can't believe this is already the second to the last episode for this season of ghost files 😭 looking forward to another season of spooky activities ✨️
Whaaat, already?
@@Kiara28735 Yeah :') the last episode is gonna get released on nov.3
Ain't no way dude.... Really??? 😭 say sike rn
@@Void_the_idiotyeah.. wish i was kidding but this is really the second to the last episode already 🥲 i swear season 2 just started last week 😭
@@redace916nooo 😭 it's too soon!!
Big respect to all the people who submit evidence/go on the show knowing Shane is just gonna completely disregard all of their distressing and emotional experiences
I actually liked how kind Ryan was while talking to the ghosts. I feel like being kind and possibly talkimg about things or concepts the spirita might know might illicit responses. One of my favourite series on youtube thanks for you guys and your teams hard work.
i’m very impressed by the numerous original illustrations done for ghost files episodes. the artist has very much not been overlooked by me. the cuts to their artwork enhance things!
Ye it's Mollie Ong, she does the illustrations for Are You Scared as well. Very cool.
YES.
I was thinking the same thing this episode!
@@fuckwit107ah, I noticed the similarities
I would very much buy an official WATCHER coffee-table art book. It’s phenomenal!
Shane and Ryan: struggling with their friendship Also Shane and Ryan: Princess carry✨
I like that Shane is still mocking the cry babies from the one season of BUN where everyone cried about how mean they were to each other that season and they were having issues. It was bizarre. Like their fans have never seen friends bust each other's balls and be sarcastic before.
During Ryan's solo investigation it really sounded like the ghosts were having a convorsation without him😭😂
I always fear that something more terrifying than ghosts and shadow people could lurk in the darkness of a stranger's allegedly haunted home: Bedbugs. Are those in Dark Souls?
My first thought is always “home invasion” lmao
EXCUSE ME that honeytone session was CRAZY. "We're going to go now" "goodbye!" and then peacing out. Like....spooky, y'all.
Yes!! And then again in Ryan's solo investigation it said "I'm moving on." And promptly shut off without another word!
For the #debrief -- Do the owners of the properties ever express annoyance with the outcomes of the episodes? (I.e., if Shane implies evidence is faked, or if there isn't a lot of evidence within the episode.) Do they ever give feedback once the episode is out?
Lol wym? Why should they get mad? They made it all up 😅🤷♂️ Back then i believed in ghosts, looking at old ghost vids but i dont even need to watch the video further than the homeowners explanation to what happened, cause if u have a lil knowledge on body language then it's so easy to see they are all bullshiting for attention 😂😂. Just the way she blinkes 100 times while reciting her lies, for example. Most if those midlife crisis overweight woman just need alot of attention without having anything interesting going on
I wish they (mostly Ryan) would stop entertaining obviously dishonest people and giving them validation and attention. Especially some woman who is being weird about indigenous people, and uses their recent painful history for her own sense of self-importance. (Sure Dina, they totally say your name and call you friend.) The audio she sent them, which is clearly just herself making growling noises… was uh. Something else. Amazing how this show kinda had more integrity under buzzfeed. (Also I love you Shane, but you should feel free to point out she had someone throwing things from off-screen to fake evidence.) I can understand at the end of the episode why you’d think the place is haunted, but indigenous people are a subject you should be careful about when it comes to ghost content.
@@Fantallanaliterally, this show's really gone downhill. it's really gross how indigenous ppl and their suffering were essentially used as a prop for the spooky factor or whatever
@@superparamagnetism Stop virtue signaling. It’s a show about ghosts no one cares about you pretending to be offended. No one is commercializing indigenous people’s suffering intentionally it was just a theory as why ghosts might be there, and the history is interesting.
I was looking for this comment. It just feels icky to bring back up such a trope. If they insisted on doing this, telling us the specific Indigenous languages that have the word "Koda" in them and what they mean and inviting literally ANYONE Indigenous with historical knowledge about that particular area and/or ghosts, would have been better. Please do better, @watcher!
i love the little detail of the solo investigation map/explanation where Shane's icon is moving smoothly and Ryan's is jittering like it's scared lmao
The minute I heard that the family had a dog, my brain went straight to Shane and the Bellaire House episode. I both inwardly laughed and was worried at the same time.
For debrief: Shane, you all have been ghost hunting for a long time now; what is the closest any evidence has come to being compelling for you? #debrief
Wow this is a good question
It would most likely be the first episode of Ghost Files at Waverly Hills where they both heard humming.
Or the episode where Shane caught a figure on camera standing BEHIND him!
@@daphnedevinemay you tell me which episode friend?
@@zachfryar1820 nah, Shane explicitly said he didn't think it was a ghost at the time and it was 100% consistent with whistling sounds you get from wind gusts when the wind direction and geometry of the building line up
Ryan actually lifting a high rank demon in his arms is quite impressive.
When Shane said "don't make jokes... Don't make jokes" in such a soft voice I felt his pain....
45:14 the look of true despair on Shane’s face from this core fear of winding up on some KZheadr-feet-wiki
I think the creepiest part was when the spirit box said Deana, clear as day. It wasn't "Tina" it was Deana
I literally gasped when that happened
i don't know if this is new or if i've just been under a rock, but i LOVE the attention to detail of the little circles for ryan and shane during the blueprint animation for their solo investigations. shane's is all smooth and slow while ryans is shaky and kinda erratic ad moves way faster than shane's lmao
It also looks like Shane's bubble is bigger since he's taller
There’s also a little ghost/monster drawing that pops up in the hallway towards the end of that animation
Shout out to the lady on the porch for making sure that deana closes her chickens in at night. That’s so sweet! Also to the Shadow kid Casey for being a sweetheart.
Having recently discovered the Buzzfeed seires and have been binging on your episodes and about to watch the final episode... I was sad, but a quick google search led me to this channel and now I am F'ing elated. In the past 4 days you've become one of my favorite podcast/investigators period.
Shane caught having an existential crises for a second about how much he thinks about rats 😂😂🤣🤣 bro was shook
i was looking for someone to comment about it XD
HIS FACE at that part 😂😂😂
Props to Ryan for keeping it together after his solo spirit box session bc I’d have lost my mind if I heard my name like that. Not to mention the spirit box dying after the lady said I’m moving on.
Tbh it sounded more like a moan than him saying Ryan lol
@@MillionMixVevo98 not even Shane himself would say that pls give up
i don't know how he got his name from that. the first time it sounded like the word "lane" to me (the ai sound, different from the one in ryan's name, also an emphasis on a different syllable), and the second and third times to me were just barking noises. when a person expects to hear something, chances are they will hear it even when it's not there
@@aahanajha2222 wdym “give up” lol I’m just being honest. I do believe in ghosts to an extent, but it really sounded like a moan
I love how Ryan just does whatever Shane requests of him even if it’s something really stupid lol
The part where Shane has to walk Ryan through where the key is is a gold mine lmao
I don't mean this disparagingly and am really only coming from a place of concern: Did they ever get their home checked for mold/gas or similar? I know we're having fun here but if you move to a new place/notice a sudden change where you start to hear voices or see things you absolutely should get your home checked for anything toxic. That stuff is too serious a threat to your health and life to just say "It's ghosts!" and potentially endanger yourself and/or your family. It's fun to believe but these home investigations are also a reminder that ghost sightings and toxin-induced hallucinations are very similar and the former is very often the latter all along.
I have a friend who practices witchcraft and the first thing she tells people when they come to her asking for advice about a potential haunting is to get their house checked for carbon monoxide and other things like that. it's just ethical to start there, with something we know for SURE is dangerous and can be easily addressed.
There's a reason there were so many ghost sightings in the later part of the Victorian era and it wasn't because of a sudden increase in spiritual activity...
That is a genuinely good point, and I think anyone anywhere on the Boogara-Shaniac spectrum would agree that it's worth checking for mold/toxins
RIP Brittany Murphy
My first thought when they described the voices and shadows was someone PLEASE get these people a carbon monoxide detector
I might just be weird but I always look forward to "Interrupt. New Moon.", her voice is so pleasing 😂
The "new moon" always gets me. It's so clear and nice :)
i swear !!!! best part
I always say it along with her
it sets off my echolalia and its the closest Ive ever felt to how people describe ASMR effects lol, you're not weird its uniquely enjoyable!
"nerd." Best one yet
Out of every place you have done in the past couple of seasons this is definitely the most compelling
For the debrief evidence, at 47:54 when Ryan asked “is that you at the door” it sounds like the spirit box gave a very emphatic “NO!” Idk sounded pretty clear to me and most of the time I can’t tell you anything that the spirit box is spitting out 😂 Also can’t wait to see you guys in Orlando this weekend. It’s my first big event I get to attend since my surgery in June and I’m so excited 🥹
For the #debrief - I live a few blocks away from this house, and my family knows the Duyck family. A previous owner of this house was named Tim! Could be what the “Tim” by the chicken coop was referring to! We have paranormal activity in my house as well so I bet this land does play a huge part.
Yes, I looked up the previous owner and it was Tim/Timothy Baker. Which street are you on?
@@kelsic8401 Please don't put your personal info online. It is dangerous.
@@kelsic8401even though you were vague this is still very personal information you just released to thousands of people on the internet, please delete this comment for your safety
That is wild
@@kelsic8401 that’s pretty close. I found out the neighbor to our left also has paranormal activity too. He’s been there a year but I just talked to him for the first time Friday.
The genuine concern about having their feet on camera is one of those unintentionally funny moments that makes me love watching these two
10:45 I'm actually concerned for brent
Love how the person who does the captions puts a funny comment at the start of each video, always makes me smile :)
Hearing them clearly saying Ryan's name eight times in a row from different voices is insane Edit: listening back, three of the times might've been Shane on the walkie but five is still wild
There’s not enough comments about this!!
right !@@ashleepaige1238
And yet people will still deny it and come up with any elaborate possible explanation just so they can continue to say “I don’t believe in ghosts”
That must have been editing though, right? I can't wait for them to clarify this on the Debrief. Listening to Ryan, it seems like the voice said it three times or so (which is cool in its own right), but the rest seems edited in.
@@loverrlee That barely sounded like "Ryan" but confirmation bias is one hell of a drug I guess
I love how Ryan says "forced to explore individually" as if he didn't create the show.
“Did I just hear a knock?” I never thought I’d hear fear in Shane’s voice. Ever. I’d also like to mention, this place… THIS PLACE IS DEFINITELY HAUNTED!
This woman definitely has mice.
@@ScaryWombatmost likely I feel like before going to the whole ghost thing. They should check if there’s animals lurking in the walls because we have heard footsteps in our attic but there’s a hole in the roof so we know there’s little animals getting in there.
I can’t stop thinking about how they’re in a building with lights/electricity and are walking around with flashlights in the dark. I know it’s for the vibe but STILL
this is probably the most serious Ryan's been this season and as much as I like them goofing off, I realize I've missed the serious Ryan too!
Same
yeah he seemed quite serious this episode
Both of them did. Maybe its because they got some good evidence at this place
@@TheRandomGuy-ew1kealso probably because people actually live there now so the stakes are higher
@@TheRandomGuy-ew1keim guessing they were being a lot more respectful and serious during the sessions due to the history of the land. makes sense to treat indigenous land that was stolen from them with respect even if ghosts arent actually real.
shocked more people aren’t making a big deal out of the spirit box session!!! that was crazy clear how many voices said ryan !!!!
It sounded like they were even saying Ryan when Ryan was talking to Shane.. like how Many times did it say it?
@@pinkbunny6218I thought some of it was Shane trolling Ryan because you can hear the radio sign off noise but even after that you get yet another "Ryan", its insane
This was the best spirit box evidence so far imo. Also, that one time it called them 'nerds' was pretty compelling
But it doesn't sound like 'Ryan'... just like a cough or a dog bark.
@@Marzi29 I heard many clear "Ryan"'s.
I was playing this video while at work and just started laughing so hard when shane said nipple scooper
I laughed so hard when Ryan said chicken 🐔 boner! 😂
57:54 Shane twists the lid on... but then Ryan just pulls the lid off without untwisting. 😂 Best ghost sign so far. Or possibly they had to refilm him getting the key. Love you guys! It's always fun to watch you two.
Ryan’s solo spirit box session is genuinely the most convincing and impressive piece of evidence i’ve ever seen. SO many voices said Ryan’s name and the majority of the responses made 100% sense to what Ryan was saying. Absolutely insane
I agree! Especially since the box was relatively quiet except for those relevant and intelligent responses.
Not really, everything that comes from that thing and the honeytone is barely intelligible...and the replies barely made any sense..lol Ryan hears what he wants to hear and the subtitles make you hear it too, but if you ignore that, you basically don't make it out at all.
Seriously, holy shit.
@@sean3473Literally not true, most the time you’d be right but I went back and closed my eyes while listening and it’s pretty freaking easy and legible to hear.
@@calebisdisposable You've already heard what you wanted to hear so it's harder to undo that. I wish They would show the audio before telling us what they think they heard or putting subtitles on it.
Ryan physically carrying Shane because the Ovilus told him to is peak comedy. Edit: Omg I hadn't watched far enough for him to carry Shane from room to room!
For the debrief: at 1:03:05 after asking the spirit to close the door it sounds like the voice is repeating “shut up”… then later at 1:04:10, when Ryan asks if they can turn the light off it sounds like a voice says “no” just as Ryan begins to speak. Creeped me out!
35:10, when ryan says "can you show me youre here" i SWEAR through the head phones it says "im here" but shane says nipple scooper 😭
For #debrief !! Have you guys ever tried setting up equipment in a NON haunted location to see if it goes off as much as it does in these places reported to be haunted? It could be a good control test to see whether the equipment is more active in haunted locations or if it just goes off equally anywhere. Also!! it’s my birthday on Wednesday and I’m flying across the country to attend ghost files live in Atlanta. I’ll be dressed as the Professor and giving away friendship bracelets that say things like “Boogara”, “Shaniac”, “Hey there demons”, “It was the wind”, and “Puppet History”. See you soon!!
I wish they'd do this too. I've always wondered about stuff like the rempod, ovulous, and the stick figure camera. Like people buy them specifically for ghost hunting. Imo it would benefit the companies that make these tools to go off intermittently so it looks like they work.
Happy early birthday! 🎉🎉
Oh oh it actually sounds like a great experiment...... Love to see data
I mean they did have that escape room episode that essentially worked as that 😂
All of their techniques and equipment are literally designed to detect things when there's nothing there so they absolutely would find similar evidence in a house not claimed to be haunted. Like the light that randomly turns on and off will still randomly turn on and off. Radio signals will still make the rem pod go wild.
The family homes are always the creepiest unsolved/ghost files locations. It doesn't feel like an unassuming family home should be haunted and there's an immediacy to it that makes it actually creepy.
I always find homes to be the least scary because there's less people reporting incidents and I never find any of the homeowner reports compelling.
I'm more convinced by homes than famous haunted sites, because the latter usually have a touristy feel. This one felt compelling from the moment the homeowner went "knock it off!" in the recording. Like yeah, I'd be pissed too if I got haunted 😂😭 I'm paying mortgage for this?! A freeloader, interrupting my peace?! No way 😭
How interesting you find the home visits will depend on how trusting you are of the home owners that invite them. Your mileage may vary. Not to throw shade at anyone Ryan and Shane have visited.
I think there was some crazy electrical levels in her room because the REM pod was soooo crazy they should also check it for raydon
the way ryan ducked when shane yelled “head down!” is sooo me 😂 i’d be terrified 33:45
For Debrief: Have you all ever considered having the owner go with you on the investigations? For this episode, it seems like the spirits are mostly attached to Deana, so maybe they just have no interest in talking or showing themselves to you. If they are real…
You have to put a #debrief
This is a great question Sarah, but like the other person said, you have to use #debrief
They did that in a video for buzzfeed, investigating Loey’s apartment
Okay, but did someone already tell you to use #debrief?
Or maybe it's all in her mind.
Gonna give it to Ryan, this was probably the best episode of the season. That's some convincing evidence right there.
I fully agree with you! That evidence was awesome!
Barely any evidence at all. A box saying Ryan and maybe a 'tug'. I love these guys, but this series is basically a testament to how fake all the other paranormal investigators are.
@@TrekTrav Each to their own. If you think it’s all bollocks, well there is Shane to nod to your opinion. For me personally, this was pretty good evidence of intelligent response. I wouldn’t go as far as saying something is “fake” since they clearly say what they hear is a hard ‘maybe’. But I mean if you do think it’s all fake.. maybe don’t watch it? If it only makes you disappointed? If Ryan does see an actual ghost, you’d hear about that on twitter too.
@@katiekate77 The reason this show exists is for discord. Nothing in this episode is any sort of proof. The closest they come to evidence is the name 'Ryan' and even that is through a machine flicking through radio signals, which could pick up anything.
@@TrekTrav Ikr people are grasping at straws with this "evidence". It's honestly sad.
For the debrief: my grandmother lives less than a mile from that house in that neighborhood, and has for over 30 years. So, as someone who spent a lot of time there, I can say I never experienced anything paranormal. So please, Shane, let's not bulldoze the entire neighborhood, okay? It's not all haunted 😂
Maybe your grandmother is too wholesome for any lost, angry souls to hang around her house?
I wish Ryan realised at the time that when he said he got chills Shane then said icy when he looked down. That whole 30 seconds was really coherent and worked together.
That “come here” at the start sounds exactly like the muffled voice of the female homeowner 😂
I noticed that too lmao
And when something falls from the counter she kind of gives a look like “Action”. lol
@@brittanyrodgers3826 definitely think this girl has seen the show and decided to fake her way onto it, especially the flickering lights on her porch. Just looks like someone’s literally flipping the light switch on and off over and over
@stupidrudecat3411 yeah she ruined this episode for me I hope they don't do any or many more private homes.
Literally the exact same. Almost like anyone claiming their home is haunted and wanting to be on TV should be completely ignored seeing as how they have a vested interest in it
For #debrief 34:50 and 35:01 Shadow Figure in the corridor. There's nothing there later when you go down the same corridor. It's not Ryan's shadow either as there's no light projecting behind him and the shadow does not move when he is moving.
Where they thought it said "Russel Crowe", I literally heard "Massacre". Creepy!!!
#debrief as an indigenous person myself, the first thought that came to mind when the spirit box said “acknowledge” and “why would you do that?” was the displaced indigenous peoples of the area. indigenous people have been trying to get…powers that be…to admit to forcefully moving natives out of their homes for a long time. and Land Acknowledgment is a way to recognize the people who acted as stewards of said land.
As a fellow Indigenous person I thought the exact same thing. Gotta say that while I’m not Osage (I’m Kainai or in other words Blackfoot) I found this episode very nice
although i’m not that’s the first thing that came to mind
yes, plus the word British soon after could even be related
This is more compelling since the Ovilus blasted out "British."
Why would indigenous spirits speak English
As someone who does believe in ghosts: never rule out mice. Had a small family of mice in my house last year, activity was very similar to ghosts 😂.
I forgot ryan was carrying shane until i saw him put him on the couch
Ryan's icon on the visual representation being smaller than Shane's and quivering at the same time is wild! Cheers to the visual editing team
